Such a perspective, when combined with that of a master of military formations, would undoubtedly be divinely aided.
He couldn't help but look at Zhang Liao. His lord had once said that Zhang Liao was quite proficient in the art of battle. Now that he had this watchtower, this guy was probably going to defy the heavens.
Zhang Liao nodded and smiled, "This watchtower is high up, offering a clear view of the enemy's weaknesses, making it an absolute advantage for the Formation-Breaking Camp!"
Their resolve to charge into battle is one of certain death!
The Formation-Breaking Camp, with its formidable destructive power, will become a nightmare for the enemy once it discovers their weaknesses.
Under these circumstances, the Formation-Breaking Camp is practically invincible.
Lin Yi glanced at him and said in a deep voice, "Confidence is a good thing, but don't underestimate Tuoba Yu. He's no pushover! Moreover, there's Li Sansi by his side. This battle won't be simple!"
"That's absolutely right!"
Jia Xu nodded, his face grim, and said, "According to the information from the Net, Tuoba Yu's Red Eagle Guard came from Raging Waves Bridge, so Li Sansi is probably an enemy, not a friend!"
They were, after all, enemies of the Great Ning Dynasty, yet this guy allowed Tuoba Yu's men to come and go as they pleased; that was rather outrageous.
"Hmph, this guy came to my Xiliang Commandery in person this time. Why don't we take him hostage and order Song Zixi to join us in destroying Tuoba Yu!" Zhou Cang said with a murderous look on his face.
Now that such a person has fallen into the hands of our lord, how can we let him leave? That would be utterly wrong.
Lin Yi shook his head. He knew in his heart that he was strong enough to eliminate Li Sansi, but unfortunately, Li Sansi had the Great Ning Dynasty behind him, which was the power of the entire nation.
The Great Ning Dynasty has a military force of nearly a million. Even if we were to attack now, we wouldn't be able to hold our territory. Therefore, it's not the right time to completely break with Great Ning.
Once I open the entrance to the Northern Region Barbarians, I can roam freely as the sky and the sea.
The Northern Region Barbarians are my testing ground. By annihilating Northern Region Barbarians, I can gain a deeper foundation, and only then will it be time to challenge the Great Ning Dynasty.
It's too early!
It's manageable to stay in one area, but venturing into the territory of Great Ning is somewhat risky. After all, Li Anlan won't give him time to build up a defense line, and once he occupies Ningchuan Commandery, he will inevitably face a full-scale attack from Li Anlan.
Therefore, now is not the time to make a move against Li Sansi; on the contrary, we can make use of him.
Thinking of this, Lin Yi couldn't help but laugh and said, " Li Sansi is not to be touched for the time being. If we do, Li Anlan will definitely not let it go. However, this time he delivered himself to our doorstep, so we can't let him go so easily."
Everyone instantly understood that their lord was going to make trouble for Li Sansi, but they didn't know how he planned to do it.
Zhang Liao frowned slightly and said in a deep voice, "My lord, if Li Sansi enters Dayu County, the cement issue will no longer be concealed, and I'm afraid Li Anlan will also become uneasy."
He was somewhat worried about this issue. Once Li Sansi arrived, he would inevitably discover the existence of the cement. At that time, unless the lord killed someone to cover it up, the matter of the cement would surely reach the emperor's ears.
In that case, Li Anlan would definitely not let the opportunity to obtain cement slip by, and might even take action ahead of time.
Hearing this, Lin Yi shook his head with a smile, and said irritably, "Our city wall is so tall, anyone who isn't an idiot would know there's something wrong with it. The Great Ning Guard isn't pushovers either; Li Anlan probably already knew about the cement."
This can't be hidden, unless it's built secretly, but time won't give us that chance.
The Great Ning Guard had already received news of Li Anlan's large-scale construction of the city, so cement had probably already come into Li Anlan's sights.
"What should we do then?" Zhou Cang asked worriedly. Wouldn't that mean they had to steal their lord's treasure?
Even Zhang Liao couldn't help but frown slightly. Although Xiliang was quite strong, it would still be somewhat troublesome if the Great Ning Dynasty launched a full-scale attack.
In that case, the cement might not be able to be saved.
Hahaha!
At this moment, Jia Xu laughed and waved his hand, saying, "There's no need to rush this matter. Don't you all think about how much our lord spent rebuilding Xiliang City? The Great Ning Dynasty is dozens of times larger than Xiliang. Do you think Li Anlan has that kind of money?"
Everyone suddenly realized that even if Li Anlan wanted to promote cement, he probably didn't have the money.
Previously, in order to quickly complete the reconstruction of Xiliang Commandery, our lord recruited a large number of laborers and various materials and resources, totaling at least three to four million strings of cash.
The Xiliang Commandery alone cost so much money. Even if Li Anlan were the reincarnation of the God of Wealth, he probably wouldn't be willing to spend nearly 100 million to rebuild the city.
"I see, that's good news. Even if the emperor doesn't lack manpower, he probably doesn't have that much money either," Zhou Cang couldn't help but gloat.
Lin Yi nodded and smiled, "He still has the financial resources to rebuild several cities; it just depends on whether he has the courage. But that's a matter for later; it's too early to talk about that now."
He was already prepared; even if Li Anlan demanded cement, he could shift the blame onto the businessman.
Moreover, the effect of cement can be drastically different if the proportions are slightly changed; there are plenty of opportunities to get the hang of it.
If you optimize your explosives, even a concrete wall won't work.
"My lord is right. Our most important task right now is to strengthen ourselves. Otherwise, even if the enemy has no city walls, we won't be able to do anything to the Great Ning Dynasty!" Jia Xu smiled and concluded.
There's no point in saying more; Xiliang doesn't yet have the strength to sweep All Under Heaven, so it's too early to talk about these things.
However, this meant the explosives couldn't be exposed.
"That makes sense!"
Lin Yi nodded; the explosives definitely couldn't be exposed to Li Sansi.
If this thing is discovered, Li Anlan will probably go crazy, and the entire Great Ning Guard will be dispatched to Xiliang Commandery.
Zhang Liao's face stiffened upon hearing this, and he cursed, "Damn it, it's all that Prince of Beining Commandery's fault! Why did he come here for no reason? He's wasted all my preparations!"
He had previously laid a lot of explosives on both sides of the road. Although they couldn't get close to the sides of the Ziwu Road, they could definitely inflict heavy losses on the enemy.
Li Sansi's appearance has directly disrupted his plans!
Forget it, if we don't need it, we don't need it. Anyway, Tuoba Yu can't break in!
"Hey, people down below are waving flags; that's a signal that guests have arrived," Zhou Cang suddenly noticed and quickly pointed out.
Lin Yi looked down and, sure enough, saw that a signal had been given. He couldn't help but laugh, "It must be Li Sansi who has arrived. Let's go see this Prince of Beining Commandery. He's on par with my father!"
